He has a Ph.D. in evolutionary psychology and is a competent and eloquent moral philosopher and epistemologist—a student of knowledge who searches for the truth.

Will Canadian taxpayers be repaid for the Gordie Howe International Bridge? Don’t hold your breath
The Gordie Howe International Bridge risks becoming a financial sinkhole for Canadian taxpayers.
Although the current uproar over Canada’s side deal with the United States is renewing public focus on the bridge’s finances, the fiscal hazards of the 2.5-kilometre span connecting Windsor and Detroit involve more than just that pact.
You can still homestead in Canada
Homesteading. You know it as the way that Canada and the U.S. effectively crowdsourced the development of their Western frontiers.
You take a big chunk of prairie, divide it up into squares, run a rail line through it, and then offer this deal to potential settlers: If you can turn your square into a viable farm, you can keep it.
Canada remains anti-nuke, but its potential path to the bomb is getting shorter
For decades, Canada’s official policy on nuclear weapons has been that they shouldn’t exist, and there is no sign that principle is about to be abandoned.
But for reasons of history and geography, Canada is also one of the world’s non-nuclear countries with the easiest technical path to a nuclear weapon. And because of the particular design of its CANDU reactors, it would also be one of the countries best-positioned to produce weapons-grade fissile material without tripping international alerts — although such a move would carry huge geopolitical risks.
U.S. descendants of Acadians deported from Canada in 1700s seeking to become citizens
Dozens of Acadians living in the United States are among those hoping to become Canadian citizens under the country’s new citizenship by descent law — but one expert says the Immigration Department’s narrow interpretation of the rules appears to disregard the history of this particular group.
Nadine Morin, a documentation specialist at the Anselme-Chiasson Centre for Acadian Studies at the Université de Moncton, said she’s received genealogy requests from at least 30 people since January.
At first, she said, she thought it might be a stretch to trace the Canadian connection back to the 1700s. “It wasn’t even Canada yet,” she said in an interview.
How come you never hear a hue and cry from our leftists about the historic maltreatment of the Acadians?
We hear what awful slavers we were even though slavery was abolished before Canada existed, just as the expulsion took place long before 1867.
Why the Gordie Howe International Bridge was ‘a bad deal for Canada from the start’
We learned this week the outcome of Canada’s gunpoint re-negotiation with the United States over revenue from the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, an impressive $6.4-billion cross-border span that Canada paid for and is now finally able to open for traffic on Monday.
The reality of the forced amendments — hammered out under threat from U.S. President Donald Trump who demanded changes to a long-standing binational contract at the eleventh hour — is not so much that it makes the new bridge a terrible deal for Canada, it’s that the changes made a bad deal even worse, according to a source with high-level knowledge of the business of border infrastructure.
Canadian-Born Wealth Falls Behind Immigrants After Real Estate Bubble
Being Canadian-born isn’t the wealth advantage many assume, according to a new study. Statistics Canada (StatCan) researchers compared Canadian-born households with established immigrants who had lived in the country for at least 10 years. They found the immigrant group came out ahead across every wealth quartile, though the gap narrowed at the top. The difference was driven almost entirely by Canada’s real estate bubble in its largest cities.
Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says: “Canadian conservatives have a patriotism problem”
Does Canadian conservatism have a problem with patriotism? Do some conservatives feel a greater loyalty to their ideology than their country?
Does this lead them to side with Donald Trump and the United States against Canada, in a dispute that turns in part on whether Canada should exist as a country, separate from the United States? Does it also lead them to favour the separatist side in the coming referendum in Alberta, which is also about whether the country should exist in its current form?
What’s “patriotic” about allowing the Liberal party and their corporate cronies to swamp the nation with cheap foreign labour cheating your compatriots out of wages, housing and healthcare?
What’s “patriotic” about being ruled by a Laurentian elite that would surrender us to Communist China for a few pieces of silver?
What’s “patriotic” about the Liberal Party’s determined effort to criminalize dissent?
What’s “patriotic” about knee-jerk anti-Americanism that threatens our relationship with our closest ally?
I could go on …
Canadians need an income of $155,850 to be happy, researchers say. Map shows cost per city
Common wisdom says that money can’t buy happiness. But if it could, researchers say, it would cost $155,850, making Canada the 14th most expensive nation in the world to purchase joy.
The slightly tongue-in-cheek study was produced by digital financial services provider Remitly, but based on an actual scientific paper published in 2018 by Purdue University, “adjusted to account for local purchasing power and inflation.”
Canadian government urged to block data-sharing deal between Thomson Reuters and US ICE
A Canadian federal opposition party leader is calling on the Mark Carney government to block the latest data-sharing deal between US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Canadian media giant Thomson Reuters.
Avi Lewis, the federal leader of the New Democratic party (NDP), demanded on Tuesday that Ottawa address the contract and further restrict Canadian corporations from doing business with ICE, after Canada’s National Observer reported on the deal.
“My blood ran cold when I read about this development,” he added in a statement to the Guardian. “Complicity between Canadian corporations and ICE should absolutely be illegal.”

N.B. RCMP investigate possible hate crime as assault video circulates online
As video of a woman being assaulted in Moncton, N.B., circulates online, police say they’re investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.
Codiac Regional RCMP responded to reports of a fight involving multiple people in a parking lot on Mountain Road around 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
It’s a shame that the woman was assaulted assuming the video is an accurate depiction of events. But Canadians are fed up with their country being used as dumping ground for incompatible cultures. You know who you are. https://t.co/UEbtkQPL3X

What’s the economic benefit of a bridge? Gordie Howe by the numbers
After 25 years of planning, seven years of construction and months of delays, the first trucks are finally set to roll over the Gordie Howe bridge on Monday.
In tow will be some of the billions of dollars worth of goods that pass through the Windsor-Detroit corridor, which the bridge will help get to their destinations faster — saving time and money.
“There’s a tremendous opportunity here in dollar terms, but also in terms of what our future looks like, just embodied in that one bridge,” said Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Concordia University who studies international trade.
Carney and Trump as the Odd Couple
Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, recently found himself embroiled in a diplomatic tiff with Trump. Both Carney and Trump have a form of Tourette’s that I recognize all too well. When asked about the forest fires in Ontario, Mark didn’t hesitate in implicating Trump as the climate arsonist. Trump shot back that Mark would not be receiving his tariff deposit back for violating our smoke-free policy.
Is Canada More Ripe for Political Disruption Than We Think?
There is a comforting story I have heard people say for the past decade about our politics in Canada.
And it goes something like this. Canadians are different. We are practical and moderate. We do not get carried away by ideological movements or political strongmen. While other countries lurch from one political upheaval to another, Canada generally stays somewhere near the middle.
Just like how for decades people said we wouldn’t debate immigration. And that anti-immigration policy sentiment couldn’t come to Canada.
Canada is being torn apart, prepped for slaughter by the Liberal Party’s mass immigration of incompatible cultures.
Don’t for a second doubt our erasure is not deliberate.
